Hi,
I have a home server which runs F17 and for a long time now it just doesn't reboot or shutdown cleanly. I've had the same issue since it was running F16 and possibly F15. When the server shuts down, I get spurious messages about some services failing or a dependency was not met for the shutdown target, or sometimes a black screen with a line which just says "Adding Swap target" (really, on a shutdown?). The output seems to vary every time, sometimes wildy different but the end result is often the same, having to hit the reset button. How do I about starting to diagnose these problems with systemd? Given that the system is left in a state where I can't do anything with it. The usual places such as /var/log/messages doesn't turn up anything useful. Maybe because syslog has already been stopped by then.
